Product Information

Isotonix® L-Tryptophan

For anyone who want to promote calmness, relaxation or sleep, or simply wants to enhance their mood, Isotonix L-Tryptophan may be the answer. Unlike prescription mood stabilizers used to treat specific conditions, Isotonix L-Tryptophan is a safe serotonin supplement containing the essential amino acid, l-tryptophan.

Tryptophan has been shown in studies to help maintain normal levels of serotonin, one of the key brain chemicals involved in regulating mood and melatonin. The body cannot naturally produce tryptophan, an amino acid; therefore, it must be a part of the diet or ingested through supplementation.

Helping maintain healthy levels of serotonin in the brain help regulate mood. Unlike most other mood-enhancing supplements and mood stabilizers on the market, Isotonix L-Tryptophan provides maximum results by including members of the B vitamin family that promote the normal absorption of L-tryptophan. Our Isotonix serotonin supplement helps your body maintain healthy levels of serotonin to enhance mood and support sleep.

After taking L-Tryptophan everyday for two months, I have noticed a difference in my mood. I am certainly more relaxed & I'm not as quick to jump the gun, so to speak. I recommend this for anyone who has trouble sleeping or is a light sleeper like myself! I noticed that when I did take this before bed, I wouldn't be tossing and turning as much. I had a deeper quality of sleep & actually felt refreshed & ready to tackle the day in the morning! L-Tryptophan has helped me out tremendously!

Love this stuff!!!

I have a big problem falling asleep and I resorted to taking wine before going to bed. My belly grew double the size after a week!. Didn't wanna take sleeping pills because of possible suicidal ideation as a side effect I take this product and after half an hour i start feeling the sleepy. Another great thing about it is that I feel more focused and sharp at work.

Works great to help me fall asleep.

I have had sleep issues in the past. This is my go to if I get in bed and my eyes aren't closing. If I know I am having sleep issues due to stress or a very early meeting, then I take the Tryptophan about 2 hours before bedtime. It works!

Great Purchase - Amazing Product

This product is amazing & that is an understatement. I have never taken a sleep aid before but I one day decided to order another Market America product called Bliss and loved it. I used it primarily as a sleep aid because it relaxed me so much. Recently, I discovered that I could not order Bliss separately but had to instead get it in a packaged deal so I hesitantly decided to try and eventually ordered the Isotonix L-Tryptophan instead. When I first took the L-Tryptophan, I used one capful and within 30-minutes I started feeling very relaxed and fell asleep. When I read the bottle and discovered that I could take 1-2 capfuls, I took 2 capfuls and that was even better! It make me more relaxed and sleepy faster. My rest was extremely peaceful and I woke up feeling refreshed. I definitely prefer the L-Tryptophan over Bliss although both products are great, I would say that the L-Tryptophan is amazing. I wish they made a larger bottle as I find myself limiting my dosage to 1 capful instead of the normal 2!

L-Tryptophan (500 mg) An essential amino acid that promotes the normal synthesis and structure of proteins. In the body, L-tryptophan is converted into niacin (vitamin B3) and serotonin, a neurotransmitter which promotes the body’s ability to regulate anger, aggression, mood, and sleep. By supplementing with Isotonix L-Tryptophan, serotonin production can be supported, which will promote sleep and enhance mood.*

The metabolism of L-tryptophan to serotonin is supported in large part by the following vitamins:

Plays an essential role as a coenzyme (NAPH/ NADPH) for about 200 enzymes which promote normal tissue respiration, synthesis of fatty acids and steroid hormones, the metabolism of carbohydrates and amino acids, and the transport of hydrogen. When niacin levels are low, the body can use L-tryptophan to manufacture the vitamin. To produce 1 mg of niacin, the body must use 60 mg of L-tryptophan, a process which can rapidly deplete L-tryptophan levels. When niacin levels are sufficient, L-tryptophan can be used for other needs such as retaining healthy levels of serotonin.*

Pyridoxine HCl (Vitamin B6) (4 mg)

Promotes the normal conduction of nerve impulses, regulation of steroid hormones, catabolism of glycogen for glucose, heme synthesis, and the synthesis/metabolism of amino acids and neurotransmitters. After conversion to pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), vitamin B6 acts as a cofactor for many enzymatic reactions involving L-tryptophan, including L-tryptophan’s conversion to serotonin.*
